We went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Leyland recently. Looking through the fine print I seewe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Leyland?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these deals tend not to cover outlay such as Leyland conveyancing search fees.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Leyland is on the mortgage lender’sconveyancing panel?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Leyland 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

The primary upside of using a high street Leyland conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Leyland know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Leyland conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
